Heh, the only place I see this behavior is on the SA forums. I always have to click Back twice and sometimes Forward just refuses to work.

You need to use Adblock Plus to block the top ads (the bottom one can remain), it's a SA-specific problem. Speaking of which, this showed up frequently in the last thread; it might be worth noting it in the OP.

The problem is probably tied up with your profile anyway - its worth creating another one and seeing if the current version can behave itself before resorting to rolling back.

This. I've had some crashing problems before, but it's usually fixed by recreating the profile. I'm running 7.0 without problems right now.

Is there any way to stop the text select blinker popping up whenever I click on a page? I can't scroll down with the arrow keys any more.

It sounds like you've got Caret Browsing on. Press F7 to toggle it.

I've been seeing tab duplication for a number of builds now, even with Tree-Style tabs. But it might be an issue with my install, since Aurora has also stopped updating correctly.

Does anyone have any tips on how to use tree style tabs? One issue I can't figure out on my own is getting threads from the SA user cp to open up as child tabs (middle click last read thread button -> new tab), not as independant ones.

This is a bug. There's an updated version of Tree Style Tab which fixes it, but it's not yet reviewed by AMO. You can install that or get by with right click -> open link in new tab for now.

Anybody?

This is what I'm seeing:



Now that I'm thinking about it Tree Style Tabs has been getting increasingly wonky, so I wouldn't hate a suggestion for a different sort of tab organizing extension as long as it can do vertical tabs.

Are these tabs from having "When Firefox starts: Show my windows and tabs from last time" selected? If so, I regularly start a firefox session that way, with a lot of tabs, and don't encounter this. Using Firefox 48.

Maybe another addon is interfering with Tree Style Tab?

So is it time to talk about which fork of Firefox to migrate to if we want to keep our old XUL addons?

One option if you want to keep addons working for as long as possible is to switch to the 52 ESR; it's supported until around June 2018 (6 months past the 57 release target).
